4. Major General attends the banquet
Outside the spaceship is a magnificent cosmic galaxy, and countless star fragments form a nebula.
Xie Li leaned on the window and looked out, and her mouth let out a sound of admiration, and her whole face seemed to want to squeeze out of the window.
Xie Qingqiu closed his eyes and took a nap, not paying attention to the scenery outside the window.
No matter how shocking the beauty is, it will be boring after seeing too much, and for these soldiers whose lives hang on the tip of the knife, such beauty means danger.
After about two hours, and after a few space jumps, we finally arrived at the main star.
When he got off the spaceship, Xie Li's legs were already weak and pale, he pulled the corner of Xie Qingqiu's clothes, and the whole person leaned on her.
"Sister, it hurts."
Xie Qingqiu tugged at his arm, then handed him a bottle of water. "Drink some, you don't come out very often before."
The main star is naturally the most prosperous of all the planets in the empire, and even if you have just left the spaceship docking station, you can get a glimpse of it from the various shops that are also full of around it.
The queen's edict came in a hurry, and Xie Qingqiu didn't even have time to return to his residence to rest.
She arranged for someone to send Xie Li back first, he must have been crying and unhappy, but Xie Qingqiu didn't have much time to entangle with him, said a few words, and promised to bring him a gift after the dinner party went back to appease him.
Xie Qingqiu booked a room for a long time at the Imperial First Hotel near the palace, which contained some formal dresses and common items.
Tonight, Adjutant Ou attended with her, and the two rushed to the hotel to dress up briefly and then drove to the palace.
The first kings of the empire were keen on medieval culture, so the royal palaces were decorated in the style of medieval European courts, and they were opulent and extravagant, unlike most of the people of the empire.
Xie Qingqiu felt dazzling every time he saw this palace.
A long red carpet was laid out at the entrance to the palace, flanked by two rows of officers of the Queen's Guard in military uniforms, and attendants in evening dresses checking invitations.
Adjutant Ou handed her two gilded invitations.
Her eyebrows rolled on Xie Qingqiu, and she smiled a little truthfully, but she couldn't say what the emotion was.
"Welcome Major General Xie, please inside."
Xie Qingqiu nodded to her, and then stepped into the venue.
They hadn't arrived too early, so the banquet venue had already gathered a lot of people, including many of her familiar figures.
The youngest major general in the empire, this title alone can attract enough attention for Xie Qingqiu, so every time she appears, she can become the focus of everyone.
So as soon as she entered the arena this time, everyone was quiet for a moment, and their eyes were on her.
Xie Qingqiu was dressed formally, and changed into a crisp dark green suede suit, the blazer was not buttoned, and the inner shirt was also unbuttoned at the top, just exposing the bloody mole in the middle of her collarbone.
Shoulder-length ink hair was neatly combed back and there were no ornaments on his body.
Lazy and casual, but coercive.
Adjutant Ou also wore a formal suit, and the two were out of place in the evening dresses.
It's not that you have to be that unique person, according to Xie Qingqiu's words, they have too many enemies, dangers are everywhere, and it is easy to run for their lives in pants.
"Yo, let's see who's coming?" The peace was brief, broken by a flirtatious voice.
Xie Qingqiu secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the familiar voice, not wanting to deal with her.
But Adjutant Ou responded first, "Three princesses! ”
"Yo yo yo, Adjutant Ou is still following her! Can you stand her temper? "Yin and Yang finished Ou Adjutantious, and she pointed the finger at Qingqiu again." It's the first time I've seen a major general who doesn't say hello to the princess! ”
"Idiot." Xie Qingqiu scolded silently.
Then she nodded to her with pretended respect, "Three princesses! ”
The third daughter of the current queen of the empire, named Lan Ying, although she is not strong in ability and has a low IQ, she is particularly favored, and it is said that she looks the most like the queen.
This Lan Ying was accustomed to being domineering, and in the early years, Xie Qingqiu didn't know her identity, so she was so angry that she beat her up, and she was made to tears on the spot, crying and calling her mother.
But she didn't complain to the queen, she just remembered the grudge, and every time she saw Xie Qingqiu, she had nothing to do and find something to do.
Xie Qingqiu thinks that adults have a lot of misagreements with such fools, but he can't bear her being stubborn.
Exceptionally obnoxious.
"Major General Xie, you are really bold!" Lan Ying snorted, "What about the vine grass that the mother king asked you to find?" You dare to come back if the mission is not completed? ”
"The princess forgives her sins, and I don't dare to slack off on the major matter of the princess's promotion to A-level, but the queen has an edict and has to reply." Xie Qingqiu deliberately bit the A-level pronunciation to ensure that his voice was heard by everyone around.
Immediately there were whispers around.
Even if Lan Ying was willful, she knew that she was not even A-level, and her face immediately turned red with anger.
She glared at Xie Qingqiu hatefully, looked up and down a few times, and scolded angrily: "You are dressed like this ugly to death!" Like those stinky males, you're the ugliest female in the entire Empire, and your wings are ugly! ”
Xie Qingqiu pursed his lips and forced himself not to laugh out loud.
After scolding a few words, Lan Ying turned around and left angrily after being bored.
She had just left on her side, and someone came on the other side.
"Major General Xie." A voice came from behind her.
When she turned around, she saw that it was a well-behaved male insect, probably after a few sips of wine, and his face was slightly pink.
This is the Queen's personal attendant, Acacia.
To put it bluntly, it is the queen's male favorite.
Hehuan brought her a glass of amber champagne and winked playfully at her. "Major General Xie is also very handsome tonight!"
"Thank you, Squire, you look good tonight too." She took it, but didn't drink it.
"Hahahaha, I've said it many times, I don't have a surname." Hehuan leaned closer and tiptoed to Xie Qingqiu's ear. "If I can, I want to reconcile with Major General with a surname!"
In the Empire, there is only one possibility for a male to have a female surname on it, and that is to marry that female.
In this world, the female insect is in power, and she has the right to speak and the initiative, so the status of the female insect is much higher, even if the male insect cherishes, but those who have the ability can even have multiple male insects.
"Squire, you have taken the Queen's surname." Xie Qingqiu thought that he was upright and square, and he would never be tempted by beauty, so he resolutely pushed away the acacia. "Trouble the chamberlain to take me to the Queen."
Hehuan will not look for her easily, although this male insect is profligate, but he will not blatantly seduce the imperial major general.
Unless the Queen orders it.
Sure enough, Hehuan pouted, and then walked straight towards a small path.
Xie Qingqiu looked left and right with her spare eyes, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she followed.
